This, btw, was not an option for me because I also needed to pipe audio into virtualbox (to run Dragon NaturallySpeaking without it crashing as it would under wine). Virtualbox basically only supports pulseaudio. (At least, I remember getting the very strong impression from their support forum that the developers were only interested in pulseaudio and that other audio backends were, at best, second thoughts and more likely to be buggy and ignored. So pulse was the best way for me to go.) It took a while to set up all the pulse-jack stuff, but now it works seamlessly. And, of course, I have the option of starting up only jack (no pulse) for a live performance. hjh -- James Harkins /// dewdrop world jamshar...@dewdrop-world.net http://www.dewdrop-world.net "Come said the Muse, Sing me a song no poet has yet chanted, Sing me the universal." -- Whitman blog: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/words audio clips: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/audio more audio: http://soundcloud.com/dewdrop_world/tracks --- Puredyne@goto10.org http://identi.ca/group/puredyne irc://irc.goto10.org/puredyne
